安志道妻劉氏，順州人。 An Zhidao's wife, Lady Liu, came from Shunzhou.

志道及劉氏之弟明理，並登進士第。 Both An Zhidao and Lady Liu's younger brother Mingli passed the jinshi degree.

劉氏避兵匿巖穴中，軍至，欲污之，劉氏曰：「我弟與夫皆進士也，我豈受汝辱乎！」 Lady Liu hid from the troops in a mountain cave. When soldiers arrived and tried to violate her, she said, "My younger brother and my husband are both jinshi graduates. How could I submit to your dishonor!"

軍士以兵磨其體，劉大罵不輟聲，軍怒，乃鉤斷其舌，含糊而死。 The soldiers scraped her body with their blades. Lady Liu cursed them without stopping. Enraged, they hooked out her tongue and cut it off; she died making inarticulate sounds.
